A goat yoked to pull an ox cart



North Korea's Kim Jong Un dismisses vice premier, comparing him to 'a goat yoked to pull an ox cart'

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has dismissed a vice premier over a factory modernisation project in a rare public rebuke ahead of a ruling party congress, state media has reported.

Mr Kim blamed Yang Sung Ho, a vice premier in charge of the machine-building industry, for causing what he called "unnecessary man-made confusion" during works to modernise the Ryongsong Machine Complex in the northeast of the country, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said on Tuesday.



That's an interesting metaphor.
